I’ve been fiddling with building a pure JavaScript game to brush up on my JavaScript skills. You can check it out at wesleyplatt.com/Eric. The concept is simple, move the guy, Eric, to the door. Grab a fire extinguisher on the way in case the fire spreads too much. I’ll probably add touch support for mobile
Quantity vs. Quality
So far I have been keeping up with my goal of a blog post every day. I have found out several things, I enjoy writing for fun, a post every day gives me no time to plan or edit, writing makes me perform better. I never have had a writing class I really enjoyed. This
Habit 3: Putting First things First
I’m enjoying 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. The chapter for habit 3 is titled “Put First Things First”. It is the natural result of the application of the first two habits (being proactive and having an end goal). In this chapter, Mr. Covey discusses how to best manage yourself. Generally the author’s recommendation is
Faith In Action: Bible Reading
George Muller had some interesting points on Bible Reading. I’m not going to go into depth on them, rather I’m going to make a bullet point list of my top three points. We should read trough the Bible to make sure we are not missing certain passages. Meditation often leads to prayer. Reading spiritual books
Church Shopping
Chapter 15 of the Scewtape Letters is about churches, churchgoers, and ways Christians can be subverted from being effective in them.

Reading about Some Habbits
I really haven’t done much fun reading for a long time. My grandma stopped by our house on Sunday, and brought along her new Kindle. This got me in the mood to pull mine out and try reading something. The last book I had been reading was 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R.
Cisco Networking: Chapter 10
Sorry I missed yesterday. I had a post on my Cisco class scheduled, so I’m going to make that post today. Cisco’s Network Fundamentals Chapter 10 is about planning a network. The chapter covers choosing routers and switches, choosing cabling types, allocating sub nets, and connecting to routers with console cables. For routers and switches,
Exploiting My New Habit
Today is my 5th consecutive day of blogging as part of my 1 month challenge to myself to blog every day. Last night I was thinking about how promising to blog every day gave me enough incentive to actually do it. I’m going to try a little experiment too see if I can’t exploit this
Asterisk Series
Okay, I have put absolutely zero work into planning this, but I’m going to start a series of blog posts on configuring Asterisk. I have an Asterisk box running with phone service from Vitelity. My plan is to setup a system which allows you to make calls from your computer, cell phone, or other SIP
